About Premse Kaho Sri Krsna Caitanya
This is Bhaktivinoda Thakura's celebrated jaya-dhvani, the glory-chant sung to close congregational kirtan and nagar-sankirtan processions across the Gaudiya Vaishnava world. Unusually for a devotional song, it doubles as a geography lesson, naming all nine islands of Navadvipa-dhama (Antardvipa through Rudradvipa) alongside the Pancha-tattva, Radha-Krsna's Vraja associates, Tulasi, and Mother Ganga. Its closing lines even bless the kirtan performers and listeners themselves, a self-referential touch rare among devotional hymns.
